Chapter 120 Change the Flag
Chapter 120
At this time, all the ships followed Yu Dayou's orders and did not use heavy artillery to fire.
Now, if the ships on both sides are bombarded with heavy artillery, I dare not say that they will welcome Dengcheng. It can also open a gap for Dengcheng. At the most important time, Dengcheng can also use heavy artillery to defend itself.
But Yu Dayou's tone was still firm and said, "No."
"Master-----" Deng Zhong said.
Yu Dayou said: "National affairs are the most important. Your father is here, so he will think so. Maybe when there is a stick of incense, we can fight back and wait, your father can hold on."
Yu Dayou also knew that Dengcheng is very dangerous now. He has been in a life-and-death relationship for many years, but it is still not enough to shake Yu Dayou's inner persistence. He can hand over his life to Dengcheng, but it is not enough to change his decision now. Because Yu Dayou has made so many preparations, the most worrying thing is that he cannot eliminate all evil.
It is not difficult to defeat the Japanese pirate coalition. The difficulty is that if Wang Zhi cannot be taken down and the Japanese pirates land everywhere from the coastal defense of thousands of miles, it will bring serious disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with such harassment everywhere on the Thousand Mile Defense Line, Zhou Meng can actually do what he can do, just like before, control the key points and fight after the Japanese pirates landed. However, the Ming Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty's forbidden sea was not allowed to have people on the coast for dozens of miles. And the Ming Dynasty's dozens of miles of coast is likely to be the most prosperous place nearby.
This method is equivalent to allowing the Japanese pirates to plunder dozens of miles along the coast, just to prevent them from going deep into the mainland.
Yu Dayou has such a heavy burden, and he cannot be distracted for a moment.
Therefore, they could only watch Dengcheng boat about a distance away.
However, Deng Cheng did not disappoint Yu Dayou's trust, but saw that all kinds of small cannons on the bow of the ship were fully fired. When such small cannons bombarded enemy ships, they were useless, but it was easy to attack people from the jump gang.
After all, the sand boat is very high. If the Japanese pirates want to board the boat, they must climb the rope ladder. On the rope ladder, they have to face the attacks of various firearms. The Japanese pirates have suffered heavy casualties and cannot be captured at all.
Mao Haifeng was furious. He regarded this battle as a morale battle.
He approached some of the ships of Wang Zhi's direct descendants. These ships had cannons, and many of them were brought by the Flang Jimen, which was brought by the Portuguese from the West, and their performance was quite good. These cannons gathered together and bombarded several times in a row. Dengcheng's ship waterline had a much lower visible view.
It was obvious that it was water.
The speed was almost no. Originally, the speed was not high, and he suffered such a blow. He could not sail westward, and even moved eastward little by little under the erosion of the water flow.
The Japanese pirates were overjoyed, and several ships even blocked the connection between the official and Dengcheng ships. As a result, Dengcheng ships were surrounded by enemies in all directions.
Yu Dayou held Qianlijing's hand and almost cut his fingers off. From time to time, he saw the ship behind him. Finally everything was ready. Yu Dayou immediately ordered and said, "All ships changed the sails. Change all the flags on the bow of the ship and raise my handsome flag."
So in an instant, all the ships in the Ming Dynasty changed the direction of the sails. Although it is the east wind now, the east wind is not the east wind. The Ming Dynasty sailing ships are famous for making good use of the wind from all sides, and now the same is true. Once the wind direction is changed, the ships flow downstream, as fast as a galloping horse.
He rushed down fiercely.
However, what scared the Japanese pirates more than the aggressive fleet was that the ship that was replaced in an instant was Yu Dayou's commanding flag hanging high. All the Japanese pirates almost lost their voices in an instant.
Yu Dayou is an old friend of the Japanese pirates, and he can't remember how many times the two sides fought. In short, Yu Dayou almost never suffered a defeat against the Japanese pirates. The famous Japanese pirates all had the experience of escaping under Yu Dayou's sword, and whether they could even escape from Yu Dayou's sword is a criterion for measuring whether they could become a tycoon of Japanese pirates.
Because he cannot escape under Yu Dayou's sword, it means he is dead.
The reason why Mao Haifeng was appreciated by Wang Zhi was said to be that he brought back the direct forces of Wang Zhi under Yu Dayou's sword several times, and the losses were very small.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. It can be said that as soon as the Yu Dayou flag was released, the morale of the Japanese pirates was suddenly severely defeated. Not to mention, they also saw the flags of other generals behind them, including Lu Tong and Tang Kekuan. Only Liu Xian had just come from the southwest and had not yet made his name on the southeast battlefield, so these Japanese pirates didn't know.
However, Liu is a big family. On the southeast battlefield, there are quite a few generals of Liu who fought well. However, some were killed in battle, some were injured and unable to fight, and some were because of the loss of personnel in the headquarters. Some were for other reasons, but in short, they were not valued by Zhou Mengchen.
But when the character Liu was on par with other generals, these Japanese pirates were thinking, who was this general?
They didn't have to think about anything. The prepared government troops went downstream, and the Japanese pirates here had not adjusted for a while. There were a lot of collision incidents in an instant.
Now is the time to test the quality of the ship.
The ships of the Ming Dynasty's official army were all official ships, and they were new ships. Zhou Mengchen sent someone to supervise them. There may be some problems in terms of cost, but there will definitely be no problems in quality, let alone, many of the ships on the Japanese pirates' side were made of garrison ships.
Some of the officers of the garrison also went into the sea, while others secretly purchased the garrison ships, and asked the garrison managers to write off the ship in the account book.
There are also some ships produced by the Ming Dynasty's private boat yard. In short, as long as these ships are shoddy, they are either inferior to the Guan Ship in terms of design standards. After all, civil ships have to make money, and are not as good as Guan Ship's materials.
Moreover, there is another problem when pirates use ships. Ships are the most important property of pirates. Every ship is, if you have any problems, just make up for them, and you have never thought about replacing them with a new ship. And wooden ships have a long service life, and some can last for hundreds of years.
These ships that are useful are fine, but they are unable to hold on one side.
Several ships even fell apart. It was estimated that the keel below could not support such an impact and had problems. It even broke on the spot. The keel was the most core position of the ship. Once the keel was broken, no matter how good the others were, it would be.
The Ming Dynasty's counterattack began with such a tragic collision.
Then the cannons roared.
Although these artillery were actually not many on each ship, the number was quite large. Nearly four hundred artillery were gathered. Although the shapes were different, they far exceeded the artillery of the Japanese pirates. For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains could be heard on both sides of the Yangtze River a hundred miles away.
But they felt that it should be the sound of thunder from the sea, but they did not expect it was the sound of artillery.
This caused chaos within the Japanese pirates.
Some pirates were determined to escape when they saw this, but they had already mentioned it before. During the attack, these Japanese pirates had no cooperation with each other. They all collided with ships, and now there was no discipline at all. For a time, the number of pirates collided with each other was even greater than the number of pirates hitting pirate ships by the Ming army.
Fortunately, this is the estuary of the Yangtze River.
The place where the Yangtze River enters the sea is dozens of miles or nearly a hundred miles wide. In many places, it is hard to say it is the sea or the river. With such a large width, the Ming Dynasty's 200 ships were spread out, and more than a thousand Japanese pirates were spread out. Although it was a little crowded, it was impossible to gather to the point where it could not be squeezed into the point where it could not be filled.
So after a moment of chaos, the Japanese pirates still wanted to retreat.
But many ships behind them have been bitten by Yu Dayou.
Yu Dayou was overjoyed. He ignored what the other people were going to do. Instead, he decided to chase them to the end, and from here an ancient brain chased the place where the aftermath of the Yangtze River flowed into the sea disappeared. Taking advantage of this current, most of the Japanese pirates were left behind.
When Yu Dayou passed by Dengcheng's ship, he saw that Dengcheng's ship suffered serious losses, so he uttered in a flag saying, "You can rest here and participate in the war depending on the situation, so that Dengcheng can repay you."
A moment later, Deng Cheng's ship returned: "As for orders, Deng Cheng has been killed in battle, Deng Quan temporarily took over the entire ship."
